Like father like son: Lorch lights up CWC, son shows promise

Lorch made headlines last week with a standout showing against Pep Guardiola’s Manchester City in Wydad’s Club World Cup opener, despite the team falling 2-0.

With some still doubting his consistency, Nyoso, as he is affectionately known, responded in style with a superb performance against Italian giants Juventus, even finding the back of the net.

While the former Orlando Pirates star remains the talk of the football world this week, it seems talent runs in the family. His young son is already turning heads with his own football skills.

Lorch’s ex-girlfriend, actress Natasha Thahane, shared a video of their son playing football with other children on Instagram. 

Fans were quick to point out the youngster’s potential, with many saying he could follow in his father’s footsteps.
